Course Description
This course surveys the dispute settlement mechanisms available for resolving disputes with an international dimension. It is organized around the classic categories of the field: negotiation, mediation, fact-finding, conciliation, arbitration, and adjudication. Despite the classic approach, the course emphasizes the many new developments in this area of law, with regard to both private international disputes and public (government-to-government) disputes. Among the new areas for consideration are the dispute settlement mechanisms of NAFTA and the World Trade Organization; the growing number of tribunals to resolve disputes; the increasing use of international arbitration; and the increasing use of national courts to settle international disputes, including those of a public character.
